ADVAITA, CHAITANYA, NITYANANDA

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma!

 

 

 

Sri Ramakrishna-"The One who is Shyama is also Brahman.

 

The One who has form is also formless. The Being who has attributes is also

 

without attributes. Brahman is Shakti and Shakti is Brahman. Inseparable.

 

The male Satchitananda and the female Satchitananda.

 

 

 

Yogamaya is the union of Purusha and Prakriti. Whatever you see is the union of

 

Purusha and Prakriti.

 

The image of Shiva and Kali, Kali stands on Shiva. All this is the union of

Purusha

 

and Prakriti. Purusha is inactive, so Shiva is lying like a corpse.

 

It is in conjunction with Purusha that Prakriti performs all Her actions-- She

creates,

 

preserves and dissolves.

 

 

 

The dual image of Radha and Krishna (both of them in One piece) also signifies

 

the same. Because of their union they are bent towards each other. To denote

 

this very union Sri Krishna wears a pearl in his nose and Radha a blue stone in

 

hers. Radha has the fair complextion of a bright pearl. Sri Krishna is of dark

 

complexion. For this reason Radha wears the blue stone. Furthermore,

 

Sri Krishna's apparel is yellow while that of Radha's is blue.

 

 

 

It is Shakti that becomes the avatara.

 

According to one school of thought, Rama and Krishna are but two waves of the

 

Ocean of chidananda, Bliss and Consciousness.

 

 

 

After the attainment of advaita jnana, Knowledge of non-duality, comes chaitanya

 

consciousness. Then I see that God alone inheres all things as consciousness.

 

After consciousness comes ananda, Bliss."

 

 

 

"Advaita, Chaitanya and Nityananda"

 

 

 

(These three great spiritual personalities were born in the 15th century at

Nadia. Chaitanya is believed to be God-incarnate, and Advaita and Nityananda his

intimate disciples).
